Various Artists - Mercury Living Presence Collector's Edition Box Set Product No: ADEC 83190
Available: LimitedStock
Category: Vinyl Box Sets
Label: Decca

A superb followup to Volume 1

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, June 12, 2013 by Jonathan This set is the second 6-lp reissue of selected Mercury Living Presence recordings, the initial volume having been released during 2012. The original 2012 set was superb and this followup set is every bit as good as the original. Pressings are uniformly excellent, the sound is clear and well-defined and the transfers to vinyl have obviously been performed with a great deal of care and expertise. An excellent booklet is included which contains a number of interesting photographs I have not seen published anywhere else.

I certainly will not hestitate to purchase any further volumes in this series, but I would hope that the Mercury recordings of Henryk Szeryng are given further consideration, since apart from the Brahms Concerto in Volume 1, so far as I am aware none of his Mercury recordings have ever been reissued onto LP in the "modern" era of audiophile LP reissues.

Label: Klavier

Lots of fun.

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, June 1, 2013 by Arturo A good recording and performance for $7.50? Yes indeed, it is very enjoyable light music well performed and recorded for a mere $7.50. Do yourself favor an get it while it lasts. This records were made back in 1973, so the supply must be short.


Leopold Stokowski - Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra Product No: AEVC 3069Q
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 200 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Classic Records (Everest)

Great Bartok

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, May 12, 2013 by Triodeotl Great sound for Everest. If you like Bartok grab this you will like Stokowski's interpretation. Just wait till you hear the harp way off to the left edge of you speaker coming out of the wall.

Recommended.


Louis Fremaux - Berlioz: A Berlioz Orchestra Spectacular Product No: AKLALE 553
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Klavier

Truly spectacular.

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, April 4, 2013 by Arturo Castaneda This is a real bargain. Excellent EMI recording, first class pressing by RTI at $10.00! What are you waiting for to buy it? Get one, you'll be glad. Just one question, why is a damaged one selling for $20.00 and the undamaged ones sell for half that price?


Maurice Abravanel - Varese: Ameriques Product No: AVAC 274
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Classic Records (Vanguard)

Great LP of Modern Music

4 Stars
Posted Tuesday, March 13, 2012 by Triodeotl If you liked the Speakers Corner re-issue of "Ionization" on Decca. You will definately want to add this to your collection. Modern but accessable with lots of percussion and horns calling. Wonderful great sound that does not disapoint. The chances of finding an original of this are next to nil.

My copy was totally quiet and the pressing was totally flat. What are you waiting for the cover alone is worth the price of admission. In case you are wondering I am recommending you get it now before it sells out and goes out of print. Or worse yet it gets on one of those lists like the one that I am drawing up to post on the web and then what. The price will skyrocket overnight.

Or just wait until Harry Pearson hears it, then what? I highly recommend this LP for the sound and the music. Don't miss it or you'll be sorry. +++++


Felix Slatkin - Benjamin Britten: Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra / Dohnanyi: Variations On A Nursery Tune Product No: ACIS 8373
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Cisco (Capitol)

Stunning

5 Stars
Posted Friday, January 27, 2012 by Triodeotl LP's do not get better than this musically and sonically. This is fun music at the very best with substance. Britten is the best British composer of our century.

Unbelievable recording from Capitol. I mean who would have thought? Its right up there with anything I have heard. A sonic knockout in everyway and deserves a place on the TAS List or anyones list for that matter.

This LP is reason to start your own list so put it on it right now. A masterpiece - - Recommended! +++++

Skip it.

Posted Saturday, June 26, 2010 by Anonymous I find Classic Records remastering of these original Everest releases a waste of time and our money. The remastering almost always sound far superior to the original pressings which consistently sounded terrible 35 mm or not. I have almost all the original early pressings. The reissue if flat and defect free. The concerto itself is not my favorite piano concerto but it can be exciting if not beautiful. If you can find the London or Decca performance by Alicia De Larrocha with the London Philharmonic with de Bergos CS6818 get it. A great recording and much better performance. Classic to me do the best job of remastering older recordings especially if the pressing are free of defects but I wish they would try and get their hands on the Decca-London catalogue instead of wasting their skills on Everest.


Leinsdorf, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra - Wagner: Ride of The Valkyries Product No: USHE 7S
Available: LimitedStock
Category: Sealed Out-of-Print Vinyl Record
Label: Sheffield Lab

Buyer beware

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, December 20, 2009 by Arturo Castaneda. The original pressing is outstanding, fabulous performance, incredible dynamic range and fidelity. However, a second copy purchased two years later was a fraud. No dynamics, a flimsy record and poor sound. There is no indication on the cover to warn the buyer that the record inside is not made from the direct matrix, but from a very poor tape recording. I recently dumped my second lousy copy to a second hand record store. The same happened when I bought a Harry James Sheffield suposedly "direct to disc".

Victor De Sabata & Vittore Veneziani - Puccini: Tosca Product No: AEMI 1094/5
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: EMI Testament

An amazing historic recording!!

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, December 18, 2008 by R. Grajales For the record I own a late 1960's lp pressing and also a cd version made in the 1990's and 2000 version made in Japan [one the best cd's pressing I ever heard], but this version is amazing; clear and cristal sound.

This an amazing historic recording made 55 year ago! Truely and excelent mono sound; Callas and Di Stefano are in top form. If you are an opera fan, you must have this recording in lp. I hope in the future some of the great opera recordings made by Lewis Layton for RCA will be available; in the meantime I will enjoy, indeed, this lp.


Leopold Stokowski - R. Strauss: Don Juan/ Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks Product No: ADCC 1002
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: DCC

First class recording and performance.

5 Stars
Posted Friday, December 12, 2008 by Arturo Castaneda The clarity and strength of this recording are difficult to surpass. Stokowsky's personal version of Don Juan is the best there is by any conductor.


Carlo Maria Giulini - Dvorak: Symphony No.7 Product No: AEMI 3325
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: EMI Testament

I am completely biased but I love it!

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, October 5, 2008 by Frederic I've heard Giulini in concert many times and it is true that his directing style could not be further away from Bernstein or Klaus Peter Flor - Giulini favoring small and discrete moves and eschewing any physical excitation as if almost apologizing for standing between the audience and the musicians. Yet his sound is nothing small, discrete or apologetic. Giulini calls forth huge romantic images which serve Dvorak's 7th beautifully; his ability to shape the London Philharmonic to paint extremely diverse landscapes makes this disc one of the few references on the 7th. Greatly recommended and the EMI pressing is technically perfect,preserving the beauty of the master tapes.

Reiner , Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Prokofiev: Lt. Kije Product No: UCRC 10S
Available: LimitedStock
Category: Sealed Out-of-Print Vinyl Record
Label: Chesky

Stunning

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, September 23, 2007 by Anonymous The Prokofieff is sonically and musically as good as it gets - electric. The Stravinsky is also very well done, but it is decidedly "side two." Excellent vinyl.


William Steinberg & Nathan Milstein - Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Product No: ACIS 8512
Available: LimitedStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Cisco (Capitol)

transcendant

5 Stars
Posted Friday, August 31, 2007 by Leland Katz Cisco's new release on 180gram is a must own.The surfaces are pristine and the remastering is nearly perfect from 40 year old tapes. Milsteins playing is a relegious experience. THIS is the reason to own it and re-experience why you have a high-end system.

Posted Wednesday, November 2, 2005 by Anonymous This is one of the best 45 rpm recordings. But be aware that there is only Ravel on the 2 records. No Ibert.
